Predators Cats: Although cats are usually the go-to animal for mice hunting, they are generally less effective than most people assume. Usually the mice hide in places that a cat cannot reach and although the catâs odor is supposed to scare mice, it can eventually attract mice once they get used to the smell.
They can also act as pest and disease carriers, transporting additional problems such as fleas or ringworm. Thankfully, if you find mice digging holes in your yard, you have several solutions â physical, cultural and chemical â to remedy the problem. Mice populations in gardens and yards can quickly be controlled using the simple snap-style mouse trap sold in most home and hardware stores.
For the first time we are having a problem with chipmunk's borrowing holes all over our yard. They have dug little holes all over the place. They dig right through my mulch and weed barrier cloth that we paid to have make the place look more manicured!I am at odds because they are so cute I don't want to really kill them but I don't like the holes all over either.he chipmunks think the bucket is solid seed so they take a dip into the bucket to get the seeds & 'oops' they can't get back out. I have had 3 at the time in a bucket. It's sounds cruel & I guess it is but they get bad around here at times & leave holes all over the yard & flower beds.
